[Setup-tool-hackers] RE: [HC Marketing] Do we have the green lighton "Ximian SystemTools" ?

["Kathryn Roy" <kathryn ximian com>]

I've asked Rachel to set up a meeting with XST team and marketing folks so
we can do what we did with Evolution in outlining the marketing messages.

XST has functions for users and sys admins?  Who do we want to pitch them
to?  Tools sounds great to sys admins and like something to avoid for a
non-techie user.  I don't know of a better way to figure out the right name
than to have the type of meeting I proposed.  I don't see much difference
between the current XST options.  If we want a new name, we need to consider
what we want to communicate 1st.

It is not unusual for a beta release to have one name and the product name
have another name at release.

I have no problems with just changing the name.  I like the idea of
doing it with no announcement. :>
